Benzyl alcohol has shown a 78% reduction in pain score immediately post-injection, and a 53% reduction in pain score in the 2-minute period post-injection, compared to the alternative excipient, Metacresol1. The trusted maropitant formula offers veterinary practices an exciting alternative antiemetic that can be used with total confidence.
‘Vetemex is a valuable addition to the already extensive Virbac portfolio’ said Claire Lewis, Product Manager at Virbac. ‘We are pleased to be able to offer vets this new, and more comfortable to administer, antiemetic option’ she added.
Vetemex is presented in a 20ml bottle, and is available from the veterinary wholesalers now.
